      Here’s an interesting excerpt:

      When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

      E: fwiw, Firefox built from source is exempt from these terms of use. Forks are also a great option but I wonder if Linux distros will approach this accordingly.

      E2: apparently these ToU only apply when using their chatbot.

      E3: I think I misunderstood some conversations surrounding the topic for E2
